Houseplants
Bromeliad - Bromeliaceae (familie)
Bright, indirect light is ideal; can tolerate some morning sun.
Water into the central cup (rosette) and keep it filled; empty and refresh regularly.
Feed every 4–6 weeks with a diluted orchid or bromeliad fertilizer during the growing season.
Repot only when necessary; bromeliads prefer to be slightly rootbound.
Description
Bromeliads are vibrant, tropical indoor plants known for their bold foliage and colourful flower rosettes. With their striking appearance and low-maintenance nature, they make excellent house plants for bright kitchens, bathrooms, and offices in the UK.
Generally pet-safe but best kept out of nibbling range.
PLANTING
- Use a free-draining, peat-free orchid mix or add bark and perlite to regular compost.
PLANT CARE
- Remove spent flowers
- Clean the central cup regularly and maintain humidity through misting.
VERVE RECOMMENDS
- Keep water in the central rosette and refresh weekly.
- Mist regularly to increase humidity.
